melt and Pinchot for
Public Power
Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford
pinchot were active supporters of
the policy of keeping water power
. in public ovmershlp. “To give
'm our water power would be
an get of folly,” declared President
. welt. “If we are guilty of
this our children will be forced to
an annual tribute upon a cap
iwlintion based upon the highest
page that the traffic will bear.”
Guard Pinchot. backed by the
president, urged an over-all pro
gram for forests, water-power and
other resources which would con
sider their inter-relations in one
canprehensive land-use plan. Wa
ter-power, like forests, they said,
should be subject to public control
either through direct ownership
by the government or regulation
by a federal power commission.
In their Opinion electric energy
was a commodity of interstate
qommerce and congress therefore
bore the responsibility of regulat
ing it in the public interest. a
Private power companies oppos
ed this policy as vehemently as the
lumber companies opposed federal
control of forests. To defeat re
. strictions by the federal govern
ment they took refuge in states’
rights arrangements protesting
‘ that navigable waters were owned

by the states and any control over
water resources therefore was the
function of the state and not the
federal government. .
Because of its constant move
ment water is not susceptible of
ownership, the important thing
being the right of use.
Idaho Law
Idaho law nevertheless declares
that: “All the waters of the state
when flowing in their natural
channels, including the waters of
all natural springs and lakes with
in the boundaries of the state, are
declared to be the property of the
state, whose duty it shall be to
supervise their appropriation and
allotment to those diverting the
same therefrom for any beneficial
use.” . .
‘ Oregon and Washington
; Oregon passed a law in 1909
stating that all water in the state
ibelongs to the public, and provid
iing that every person, firm or cor
poration who appropriates water
within the state for the develop
ment of power shall pay certain
‘sums to the state.
And the state constitution of
Washington declares that “The
use of water of this state for irri
gation, mining and manufacturing
purposes shall be deemed a public
use.” '

and distributing electric power
was so strong that 'not even Theo
dore Roosevelt with his “big stick”
could counteractit. Water rights
were acquired by them on the key
a’tes all over the Northwest.
Therailroads at this time were
active among the corporations de

perimenting with electric trains.
The Great Northern in planning
its railroad to Puget Sound had
acquired water rights of Milk

the Wenatchee river of. Washing
ton, where a plant was constructed
to furnish “juice” to electrified
trains operating across the Cas
cades. In 1906 this road also took
over the assets of the Chelan Elec
tric company and acquired power
rights at Chelan Falls. The Mil
waukee road »was interested in
power because it had electrified its
main line from eastern Montana
cazg'ross Idaho. The Annuiconda
pper Mmms company ewise
was interested because copper
smelting consumed large quanti
ties of electricity. It was largely
to supply these two big purchasers
that the Montana Power company
was formedin 1912. ‘

The first group of mouataineers
in the Pacific Northwest organ
ize a club were Oregonians led by
that ardent outdoor enthusiast
who inspired the creation of Cra
ter Lake National park, William
Gladstone Steel. In 1894. a party
of 155 men and 38 women who
had climbed Mt. Hood under his
guidance paused long enough on
the summit to celebrate the event
by forming the “Mammas.” (The
name comes from Crater Lake, the
original volcano of which is called
by geologists “Mt. Mazuma.")
In Washington one of the most
ardent leaders of that period in
the pursuit of mountaineering was
Edmond S. Meany. who for 27
years was president of the Seattle
Mountaineers, organized in 1906
although he is better known as
professor of history on the faculty
of the University of Washington.
In view of their outstanding
value as playgrounds, all of the
“skyland” areas of the Cascades
and Olympics should be included
in the nationalpark system. it‘was
argued by noting the needs of the
people or to properly conserve the.
park resources, it was argued. So;
‘other bills were introduced in con
-Igress, one propsing a national park
in the heart of the Olympics and
another which would give national
park status to Glacier Peak, Mt.
Baker and other skyland areas of
